I mean, that wouldn’t just solve the climate crisis, that would also get people to talk to each other, help people exercise, cut down on pollution…

Immeasurably great reporting. This was painful to yet, but a blessing to know.

People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing “orange man bad” yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn’t make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn’t help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.

This is just sad. How will this not get people sick and tired of it?

Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that’s not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. “No better” my fucking ass.

And the reason things are so bleak is because most people only have words to go off of, rather than actions.

Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone’s car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?

I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.

Yeah, Drumpf is too old for office and can’t understand how money works imo. It’s not even the Dictatorship On Day One deal. Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte could, at least, solve a great many of their people’s problems. Drumpf and Vance aren’t even doing that. It’s a bit exhausting having almost every U.S. politician cramming into the D-Party, but after this whole fiasco, it’ll split up.

Nah, just fucking draw it you cowards.

Like my second, albeit braindead, systems administrator on my shoulder

I think the more important part is that your systems administrator is braindead. I know it’s hyperbolic, but you can certainly learn coding (Link 2) and Spanish (Link 2) yourself.

I think Generative AI should just be scrapped. Nobody needs hyperrealistic photos and videos, or chatbots, or any of that shit. The main problems of the world are not technological, but legal. Too many laws are enacted for the benefit of robber-barons, and unless they are scrapped, I have no faith in my legal system.

You should look at the energy cost of AI. It’s not a miracle machine.

There are a few problems, tho. 1 2 3 4 5 6

This worldwide obsession with anti-aging is a plague. It has to fucking stop. Everytime I hear someone calling women over 30 “old hags”, I can’t help the feeling that they’re pedophiles. Just let girls age normally, for fuck’s sake!

I disagree.

Did you know that Oregon has its lottery funds go straight to the government? I guess having only eighth place is a good thing

As for me, it should be dead. I’m tired of having people link Twitter, as if any good person will join a discussion on there. It’s a digital parasite feeding off ad revenue and it should be taken down so people stop linking to it and posting on there.

Whenever I browse Twitter I do it because others link to it

. I’m glad that people are moving away, because that means these not as many people will use it as a primary source, and post art and other stuff somewhere else.
